The clock read 07:45 on a sharp Monday morning. UA’s halls rose like a citadel around you, their scale meant to intimidate, but you felt only the electric promise of a hero’s beginning. That buzz of anticipation soured slightly with one unavoidable fact: Katsuki Bakugou was in this class. Your childhood rival, the one you’d fought and competed with for years. You hadn’t seen him since summer, and you’d changed. The lanky kid was gone, replaced by someone who’d grown into their skin, carrying a new, quiet confidence. You faced the classroom door—tall and heavy—took a breath, and pushed inside. The hum of student chatter died instantly. All heads turned. The room held its breath, every eye fixed on you as you stepped into a future now complicated by the past.
